Sweden is a fabulous country and one that I've travelled quite extensively - from Stockholm, where I've lived for a month to take a Swedish class, to Malmö and Gothenburg, and of course, Swedish Lapland!

Below are my most popular posts about Sweden with lots of info and what to see and do when you visit.

If you're interested in a particular destination, choose from the following:

Sweden is a place that many people appreciate due to its beautiful landscapes, medieval architecture – and overall fascinating touristic points. You have very beautiful coasts, intricate buildings with a fair amount of detail – and the feeling that you are in the countryside, even if you are in the middle of a city.

I cannot put this place into words other than that it's magical and that you should visit it at least once in your life!There also is the famous ice church where you can get married if you wish. I have to say that I never really had the urge to get married but standing in this church definitely made me turn into a hopeless romantic as well.

Taking into consideration how expensive, difficult and exhausting it was to get to and from Kiruna, the last thing we wanted to do is spend even more money on expensive tours. And Kiruna offers a lot of those! If you're willing to spend $150+ on a tour that lasts 2 hours, Kiruna seems to be a good place to do so, but I can understand if that's not what you had in mind!

We decided to visit Kiruna by bus and train in the naive assumption that it would be cheap. Considering our taxi fares and all the stress we had on our journey to and from Swedish Lapland, I certainly would rather spend a few bucks more and rent a car next time. But well, hindsight is 20/20. Don't make our mistakes on your trip to the Arctic Circle!

If you've ever been to Sweden, then you probably visited Stockholm, maybe Gothenburg or even Swedish Lapland. The country's third biggest city Malmö though, is rarely on anyone's bucket list. People often head to Malmö on a day trip when there's nothing left to see in Copenhagen. Or when they're on their way to Stockholm or Gothenburg. But has a trip to Malmö as your actual destination ever crossed your mind?

Now winter isn't the most popular time to travel and even less so when the destination in question only has 6 hours of daylight in December and an average temperature of -3 degrees Celsius in February. Of course, Stockholm is an absolute beauty when the sun shines and you can work on your tan at Lake Mälaren. However winter is a pretty special time to visit Sweden too so here's a quick guide on what there is to see and do if you visit Stockholm in winter.

I spent my Easter vacation in Swedish Lapland this year and what can I say, it's stunning! Wherever you see, beautiful landscapes meet your eye and if you're lucky, you can even spot a reindeer in the woods! The boyfriend and I stayed in his family's cabin near Arjeplog on the Arctic Circle. This cabin can only be reached by snowmobile in winter or boat during summer and is surrounded by gorgeous forests and mountains.

Two weeks ago, I told you how much I loved Gothenburg and how much the city suprised me. I actually only had 24 hours to explore the city as I spend my second day out in the Gothenburg archipelago, namely in Marstrand. If you ever happen to be in the Gothenburg area, you just HAVE to head over to the archipelago too. I even go as far as to say that the Gothenburg archipelago is even more beautiful than the Stockholm archipelago but that's just my opinion.

This will be my very last post on Stockholm. I've shared everything I could tell you about the city and nearly all my pictures I took while I was there so far so now it's time to move on. I will be headed to Norway and Sweden next week and scheduled some posts for that time, so that you'll get at least 3 posts from me even though I'm away.

I went on a weekend cruise to Riga, Latvia and while the trip itself is worth a post on its own, I wanted to share a few pictures with you that I took of Stockholms archipelago in the Baltic Sea. We crossed the archipelago on our way to Latvia and while it was already dark on the outward journey, I got up early to experience the archipelago on the way back. And it was such a wonderful landscape to see.

On my second weekend in Sweden I decided to go on a trip to Västeras. Situated at Lake Mälaren, about an hour from Stockholm, Västerås is a really nice town. I would even go so far as to say that Västeras is a typical Swedish small town, one of those that you imagine when thinking about Sweden.

Gamla Stan, Stockholm's Old Town, is the oldest neighbourhood of Stockholm and one of the best preserved medieval town centres in all of Europe. It was here that Stockholm was founded by Birger Jarl in 1252 and it was here the royal palace was built - which later burned down and a new palace was built instead.Gamla Stan is the heart of Stockholm and one should at least stroll around this area for an hour when visiting Stockholm.
